General Information

The POWERMAXtm gas fired, infra-red water booster heater provides 180 degree sanitizing rinse water for commercial dishwashing machines. Dishware and utensils used in the preparation and serving of food are required by Health Codes and the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) to be sanitized by hot (min. 180 degrees Fahrenheit) water or a chemical sanitizing solution to destroy bacteria and parasitical organisms. The POWERMAXtm booster heater operates as a semi-instantaneous water heater. As 180 degree rinse water is drawn from the unit, incoming supply water flow activates the burner and pump to circulate the water through a high efficiency finned copper coil heat exchanger. Heat is provided by an advanced infra-red ceramic fabric power burner which heats and maintains a constant supply of 180 degree rinse water. When the dishwasher is not in use, the POWERMAXtm continues operating for a few minutes before going into a stand-by mode, operating only as needed to maintain a small (approx. 4.5 gallon) reservoir of 180 degree water for the next dishwashing rinse demand.
